Mechanical properties of atomically thin boron nitride and the role of interlayer interactions

Mechanical properties of atomically thin boron nitride and the role of interlayer interactions

Atomically thin boron nitride remains undercharacterized in terms of their mechanical properties. Here authors test high-quality mono- and few-layer BN and show it to be one of the strongest electrically insulating materials and dramatically better in interlayer integrity than graphene under indenta...
